Title (Max 100 Characters)

ATLANTA -- Whether your weekend travels take you on the Perimeter, Interstate 75, Interstate 85 or Interstate 20, odds are good you'll run into road construction and traffic. Here's how to avoid getting caught in the mess.

Traveling Northbound on I-85 from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport could be very slow this weekend.

Consider taking I-85 Southbound to I-285 Eastbound (Southeast Perimeter which becomes the Eastside Perimeter) for the eastern and northeastern suburbs or I-85 Southbound to I-285 Northbound (Southwest Perimeter which becomes the Westside Perimeter) for the western and northwestern suburbs.
